One Hundred Years of Social Protection

Gives full attention to the emerging but as yet under-researched early history of social policy in the global South. Sets out a new theoretical approach that builds on the Weberian tradition in social policy research, elaborating the formative ideas that inspired the key actors and the conflicts about the direction of social policy in four countries. Draws extensively on original documents that reflect the views of contemporary actors, giving voice to domestic elites and social movements, rather than imposing preconceived Northern concepts.
